Used the version of Gparted in current testbuild of Slacko (0.16.0 IIRC) to repartition the new 1TB internal SATA HDD in the Pentium D. Main OS is Win 7 Pro 64-Bit, I've successfully resized the main Windows partition and created an 8GB Linux Swap partition, a 10GB ext4 for a main full install of Puppy, a 100GB ext4 for Linux data and a 12GB ext4 for test full installs.

Currently have a Full of 5655 (PAE version) under test. Seems to be working well at the moment. Wireless setup on that is via Frisbee, proper icon appears when connected. Clock was still truncated with 12hr am/pm setup.

Set up Grub4Dos via Grub4DosConfig and customised menu.1st (or menu.lst, can never remember). Win 7 Pro install, set as default, still working fine as does the XP install on another drive.

Maybe there should be some additional button in PPM like "install" or "remove" to handle selected item in the list. Double click on the item or pressing the button should do the same thing. You don't like double click - press the button.

bigpup, I do understand your concern, but ff-esr-17.0.11 is the latest with security fixes (it is LTS, aka ESR) and we will be following that line with official slacko.

@ reasons.

1. bloat -- ff > 20 is several megabytes larger.
2. speed -- my benchmark machine is an old IBM Thinkpad r51. ff > 20 runs like treacle on that thing so evidently they have increased the need for resources.

My other not so well publicised OS will be shipping with FF-esr-24.X when it's ready.. more soon on that (still slacko/puppy/woof based)._________________Woof Mailing List | keep the faith |

Swapped in a GF2Pro. Firstly get the vertical stripes. CTRL-ALT-BCKSPCE gives black screen, monitor OFF, one bark when I hit the hard reset! pfix=ram,nox, nouveau fails to shown 'OK', nv shows horiz stripes at bottom screen. C-A-B, Nothing - black screen. Other options require reboot so unable to test.
Good news is that this is my bench XP so will dump nV cards for Slacko until fix appears.

Woes with the newer kernel and nvidia has forced me back to a 3.4x kernel for the non-PAE version. I think this is a wise choice. Keep your eyes open for beta in the days ahead._________________Woof Mailing List | keep the faith |

Mick, there is a tremendous amount of excellent work going on with Slackos in Puppyland. Thanks for all you are doing. Looking forward to testing this.

Think you may mean Phat-Slacko. Looking forward to that, as well, for the 32bit PCs.

Testing to follow._________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!
